Abstract: ABSTRACT Aims Hemophore-like proteins sequester heme from host hemoproteins. We aimed to determine whether the host immune system can recognize not only Porphyromonas gingivalis HmuY but also its homologs expressed by other periodontopathogens, and how… read more here.

Abstract: Altered or disturbed mutualism between oral microbiome members results in dysbiosis with local injuries and subsequently in systemic diseases. Periodontitis belongs to a group of multifactorial infectious diseases, characterized by inflammation and destruction of tooth-supporting… read more here.
